I don't what or how it happened.
But one night all I can remember was I updated my Firefox in Windows and my account was synced. I use to have all my browser history on my Macbook air. But suddenly the next day I discover that all of my history is gone. I have no idea what caused or how I can recover it again. I tried the internet and nothing helped me with my problem. So now I'm resorting to this and hopefully someone can tell me what to do.

Hello! Yesterday (03/16/2025) I received a message that the ChatZilla add-on to Firefox will be disabled on the next restart of FireFox. The message indicates that the extension could not be "verified".
I am using a VERY old computer for ChatZilla only: Windows XP Firefox 48.0.2 ChatZilla 0.9.92
I don't care about the age and inability to update any of the software, but I need to continue to use ChatZilla on this platform.
I have used ChatZilla on this machine for a very long time and do need to continue. Is there any way that I can make this work without having ChatZilla automatically disabled at the next restart of Firefox?
Can this "update to keep using firefox after march 14" message go away because its already well past march 14th and all my add-ons still work.

What a dirty trick! I updated Firefox to version 136.0.1 to stop all the nagging, and my tabs disappeared! Nothing I could do brought them back. I asked the internet and finally learned about the sidebar, where tiny icons are shown (which I hadn't noticed). Nothing I could do with the sidebar brought the tabs back. Asked the internet again, and finally I found that buried in the Preferences is Browser Layout. When I deselected "Show sidebar," the tabs came back. What a dirty trick to make that the default, with no clue how to undo it! Nothing in the menus or the Help was any help. P.S., I am not a computer novice; I was a systems programmer in my professional life and have been using Firefox for many years.

Due to the current transition from Skype to Teams Free, I was wondering about what reported here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-client-system-requirements In the "New Teams for web" section I can read that the latest three versions of Firefox will be supported for Windows, macOS and Linux. In the "New Teams on Linux" section I can read that "Linux users have access to New Teams for Web and new Teams as a progressive web app (PWA)"
So my question: Will I be able to use the new Microsoft Teams for Web Free from the latest Firefox on Linux Mint 21.1?
Thank you
Best Regards

Firefox says versions earlier than 115.13 will be impacted by the certificate expiration. I've updated to 115.21 My add-ons are still disabled. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/root-certificate-expiration
It seems many don't know or haven't noticed but merely running an esr branch (rather than a developer edition) will also give you the option to enable add-ons with expired certifications via about:config.
Anyway, the "legit" way isn't working.
What do you suggest to remedy my problem ?

I had a Windows update problem that forced me into a clean install yesterday. When I reinstalled Firefox, I forgot to have it put an icon for private browsing on the taskbar during the setup. Is there a way to do this without uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox? I can't find the option on the app menu.

I Uploaded several jpg images to GitHub of various file-sizes using a command line tool called Upgit:
Notice that if you open image 5, it prompts to save it or open it in an external application (or just downloads it, depending on your download settings). All the other images just simply load and appear in their tabs.
Is there a configuration setting in about:config that determines the file size threshold for this behavior?
Try it yourself: Open image 5. It will prompt you or download the image automatically whereas the other images just display in tabs.
How can I disable this behavior?
Any help greatly appreciated.

This is my first time using this support. I got an email from someone asking me a question. I replied ot the email but it came back, and I see it is a "no-reply@" email. How do I find this person to respond or where is my question & the thread housed here? I would think you would make it more obvious & easy to find.
Thankx, Judy

One morning could not connect to email/ATT. This is the error message I got: Something's gone wrong We may be having trouble with your connection. Connecting your device to Wi-Fi could help fix the issue or try again later. If you were using an app, close this page. Otherwise, start over. ATT came to home to look into hookup, etc. Could not fix. They advised Firefox could be corrupted. Should I reinstall Firefox. Had to go thru Chrome for email. Have Windows 11. Thank you.

I need to install the Foxyproxy and the Wappalyzer, I do trust them but i don't understand why is Firefox disabling them while I have been using them for a while now WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM...
You don't even give a clear solution to why and how I can resolve this case on time so i can keep using the browser....issues like these make us users switch to more reliable,easy,supportive and less complex browsers.
